I had some friends from the local Model Railway Club round for a running session yesterday. I managed
to persuade one of them to drive the live steam R/C Locos so that I could take some video. Here is
the result.

All I have to do now is to work out a way of securing the logs that looks prototypical.

We had a Works Outing yesterday to sunny Doncaster for a visit to the Roundhouse factory. The Roundhouse Team
excelled themselves making everyone welcome and provided a superb Buffet. Staff were Brilliant answering questions
and showing how they manufacture the parts and assemble the engines. There was even a short length of track from a certain TV
show and the battered locos showing their battle scares.
A Great Day Out.
Regards Graham.

I haven't done the factory tour, or open day, but I did pick up my Lady Anne from the factory when it was built.

I would imagine seeing them being assembled would be very interesting.

We may have to arrange a trip sometime Ian, with possibly some other members, or anybody else who would be interested. :thumbleft:

Sounds interesting. I'd be up for a visit. I'll have to leave my wallet and credit cards at home though.

I had planned a trip there this weekend. Unfortunately a change of plans meant I did'nt make it. Thanks for sharing the video.

Just had a great run with my Regner Vincent. I decided to top up the gas after the boiler had reached pressure
and the run lasted for an hour. Good job I have a water top up fitted.
Was going to post a photo of the loco and its load but I don't seem to be able to add an image.
The forum Help pages don't give any clue as to what the problem is.
Regards Graham.

When you try and upload an image what happens?

Does this help?

The image size is 215kb and is in JPEG Format.

I go to the Add image Icon and Get

Image But all attempts to put the image between the two don't work. it seems to want an URL
I was expecting to copy and paste from my PC

What version of Windows, OSX or Linux are you using and what Internet browser?

You can drag and drop images, you don't need to add an URL as the server the forum runs on hosts the image(s).
